cent copy of the Cincinnati Weekly

MLifl Of the
CIRCUS
Dy MARGARET MAYO
I Copyright ICom I
Company
LiCompany
Its scandalous I Miss Perkins snap
ped Scandalous I And somebody
ought to stop It She glanced about
with an unmistakable air of grievance
at the closed doors feeling that the
pastor was undoubtedly behind one of
them when he ought to be out taking
action against the things that her soul
abominated
Wen Im sure Ive done all that I
could piped the widow with a meek
martyred air She was always mar
tyred She considered It an approprl
ate attitude for a widow He cant
blame me If the choir Is out of key to
morrow Mercy me Interrupted the spinster
If there Isnt Julia Strong leaning
right out of that window looking at
the circus and her pa a deacon of the
charch and this the house ot the pas
tort Its shocking I must go to her
Ma let me see too begged Willie
as he tugged at his mothers skirts
Mrs Wlllonghby hesitated Miss
Perkins was certainly taking a long
while for her argument with Julia
The glow from the red powder outside
the window was positively alarming
Dear mer she said I wonder If
there can be a fire And with this
pretext for Investigation she too
Joined the little group at the window
A few moments later when Douglas
entered for a fresh supply of paper
the backs of the company were to
ward him He crossed to the study
table without disturbing his visitors
and smiled to himself at the eager
way lu which they were hanging out
of the window
Douglas was a sturdy young man of
eight and twenty frank and boyish In
manner confident and light hearted In
spirit He had seemed too young to
the deacons when he was appointed to
their church and his keen enjoyment
of outdoor games and other healthful
sports robbed him of a certain dignity
In their eyes Some of the women of
the congregation had been < lncllned to
side with the deacons for It hurt their
vanity that the pastor found so many
other Interests when be might have
been sitting In dark stuffy rooms dis
cussing theology with them but Doug
las had been either unconscious of or
Indifferent to their resentment and
had gone on his way with a cheery nod
and an unconquerable conviction of
right that had only left them flounder
Ing He Intended to quit the room
now unnoticed but was unfortunate
enough to upset a chair as he turned
from the table This brought a chorus
of exclamations from the women who
chattering rushed quickly toward him
What do you think of my naughty
boy Willie simpered the widow
lIe dragged me quite to the window
Douglas glanced amusedly first at
the five foot six widow and then at
the helpless red haired urchin by hei
side but he made no comment beyond
offering a chair to each of the women
Our choir practice had to be entire
ly discontinued declared Miss Per
klns sourly as she accepted the prof
fered chair adjusted her skirts for a
stay and glanced defiantly at the par
son who had dutifully seated himself
near the table
I am sure I have as true an ear as
anybody whimpered the widow with
an Injured air But I defy any one
to lead What Shall the Harvest Be1
to an accompaniment like that She
Jerked her hand In the direction of the
window The band was again playing
the hoochee coochee
Never mind about the choir prac
tire said Douglas with a smile It
Is soul not skill that our congregation
needs In Its music As for that music
out there It Is not without Its compen
sations Why the small boys would
rather bear that band than the finest
church organ In the world
And the small boys would rather
see the circus than to hear you preach
most likely snapped Miss Perkins
It was adding Insult to Injury for him
to try to console her
Of course they would and so would
some of the grownups If theyd only
tell the truth about It said Douglas
laughing
What exclaimed Miss Perkins
Why not asked Douglas I am
sure I dont know what they do Inside
the tents but the parade looked very
promisingThe
The parade the two women ech
oed in l one breath Did you see the
paradeYes
Yes indeed said Douglas enthusi
astically But It didnt compare with
the one I saw at the age of eight
He turned his head to one side and
looked into space with a reminiscent
smile The widows red haired boy
crept close to him
The Shetland ponies seemed as
small as mice he continued dreamily
tho elephants huge as mountains the
great calliope wafted my soul to the
very skies and I followed that parade
right into the circus lot
Did you seed inside de tentT Wil
lie asked eagerlyI I
I didnt have enough money for
that Douglas answered frankly He
turned to the small boy and pinched
his ear There was sad disappoint
ment in the youngsters face but be
brightened again when the parson con
teased that he peeped
A parson peeping cried the thin
Ugped MjisJPerkins thinJ J

I was not a parson then corrected
Douglas good naturcdly
You were going to be persisted
tho spinster
I had to be a boy first In spite of
that fact
The trodden appearance of Hasty
In the JOUH0 pastors arms wan a white
spangled burden of humanity
proved a diversion He was looking
very sheepish
Hyar he Is Mars John look at
him said Mandy
Hasty where have you been all

Hasty fumbled with his hat and
sparred for time Did yo say whars

Hasty solemnly Mandy snorted in

circus
He was in de lot atryln to look
In same as me Hasty answered In
nocently
Youd better take Hasty Into the
kitchen said Douglas to Mandy with
a dry smile Hes talking too much
for a wounded man
Mandy disappeared with the dls

scorn to get de tiger to chaw off his
lalgs sos he wouldnt have to walk

The women gazed at each other with
lips closed tightly Elversons be
havior was beyond their power of ex
pression Miss Perkins turned to the
pastor as though he were somehow to
blame for the deacons backsliding
but before she could find words to ar
gue the point the timid little deacon
appeared in the doorway utterly un
conscious of the hostile reception that
Hasty had prepared for him HP
glanced nervously from one set face
to the other then coughed behind his
hat Were all very much Interested In
the circus said Douglas Cant you
tell us about It
I Just went Into the lot to look for
my son stammered the deacon I
feared Peter had strayed
Why deacon said Mrs Wlllonsh
by I Just stopped by your house
and sale Mrs Elverson putting Peter
to bed
bedThe
The deacon was saved from further
embarrassment by an exclamation
from Julia who had stayed at the
window Oh look something bus
happened I she cried Theres a
crowd They are coming this way
Douglas crossed quickly to Julias
side and saw an excited mob collect
ing before the entrance to the main
tent He had time to discover no
more before Mandy burst In at the
door panting with excitement and roll
Ing her large white rimmed eyeballs
Mars John a little circus girl done
fall off her boss she cried Dr
Hartley say can dey bring her In
heah
Of course said Douglas hurrying
outsideThere
There were horrified exclamations
from the women who were aghast at
the Idea of a circus rider In the par
sonage In their helpless Indignation
they turned upon the little deacon feel
ing intuitively that he was enjoying
the drama Elverson was retreating
toward the door when he was sudden
ly thrust aside by Douglas
In the young pastors arms was a
white spangled burden of humanity

shoulder The silk stocking was hisI I

Mandy reached the front door In
time to push back a crowd of Intrud
ers She had barely closed tho door
when It was thrust open by Jim
Where Is she he demanded
Go way Cum hero cried Mnndy
ns her eyes unconsciously sought the
stairs
Jim followed tho direction of her
glance and cleared the steps at a
bound Mandy pursued him muttering
angrily Dbncon Elverson too was
about to follow when n grim reminder
from Miss rerklns brought him around
and he Wade for the door Instead He
started back on opening It for stand
Ing on the threshold was a clown In
his grotesque makeup His white
clothes wens partially concealed by a
large traveling ulster bold together by
one button In Olin hand he carried a
small leather satchel In the other a
girls sailor hat A little tan coat was
thrown across his arm The giggles of
the boy hiding behind his mothers
skirt were the only greetings received
by the trembling old man In the door

friendly face to the other waiting for
ea word of Invitation to enter but none

Excuse me he said I Just
brought some of her little things Shed
better put on her coat when she goes
out Its get tin kinder chilly
He looked again Into the blank
faces Still no one spoke He stepped
forward trembling with anxiety A
sudden fear clutched at his heart tho
muscles of his face worked pitifully
the red painted lips began to quiver
It aintIt aint that Is It ho fal
tered unable to utter the word that
filled him with horror
Even Miss Perkins was momentarily
touched by the anguish In the old
mans voice 1 guess you will find
the person you are looking for up

The painted clown stood atone
stairs she answered tartly and
flounced out of the house calling to
Julia and the others to follow her and
declaring that she would soon let folks
know how the parson had brought a
circus rldln girl into the parsonage
The painted clown stood alone look
Ing from one wall to the other then
crossed the room and placed the alli
gator satchel and the little coat and
hat on the study table He was care
ful not to wrinkle the coat for this
was Pollys birthday gift Jim and be
had planned to have sandwiches and
soda pop on the top of the big wagon
when they offered their treasures to
night But now the wagons would
soon be leaving and where was Pol
ly He turned to ask this question as
Mandy came down the stairs
Well If dar aint anudder one she
criedNever
Never mind Mandy said Douglas
who was just behind her carrying a
small water pitcher and searching tor
n bottle of brandy which had been
placed lu the medicine chest for emer
gencies
You can take these upstairs he
told her when he had filled the pitcher
with water and found the liquor Man
dy looked threateningly at Toby then
reluctantly went on her way
Douglas turned to the old man pleas
antly His was the first greeting that
Toby had received and he at last
found voice to ask whether Polly was
badly hurt
The doctor hasnt told us yet said
Douglas kindly
Im her Uncle Tobynot her real
uncle the old man explained but
thats what she calls me I couldnt
come out right away because Im on
in the concert Could I see her now
pleaseHeres
Heres the doctor said Douglas as
Hartley came down the stairs follow
ed by Jim Well doctor not bad I
hope
Yes rather bad said the doctor
adding quickly as he saw the suffering
in Tobys face but dont be alarmed
Shes going to get well
How long will It be before we can
have her back before she can ride
again asked Jim gruffly as he stood
apart twisting his brown worn bat I
in his hands
Probably several months said the
doctor No bones are broken but the
ligaments of one ankle are torn and
she received a had blow on the head
